Roughtly how quickly you think a car that can do about 160mph over the quarter mile can get to 200mph if it was already rolling at about 70odd?

Bearing in mind its a very slippery and aerodynamic and does 160odd top speed as standard with under 300bhp...

Bloody quickly I guess, 3/4 of a mile?

And would you go in the car as a passenger, on the road, at that speed?

The rolling start makes no difference a fast car will reach 70 in less than 50m & that’s about .5 second at 200mph , so nothing gained. Only car I know that can get to 200mph in ž mile is Keiths. 160 in the quarter is no guide cos Longer gearing may be required.

Ants that heavy the car would never do it, hes a man mountain And his car dont do more than about 140mph terminals.

Rod- The gearing is fine for it, IIRC it wont even really go past peak rpm.

And speaking to him, he was thinking a roll on of 120odd anyhow, as any car can do that on even a twisty m-way.

Anyhow, this is theory, jus interested

Pictures or STFU .

There arnt any, its just theory

But if me and my imaginary RX7 owning friend was possibly considering maybe possibly considering it, maybe, it might look a bit like this.



The imaginary car would take the drag slicks off and put on some track tyres tho, as he said (in a dream, of course) its like you after a big night of fun, "a bit loose at the back end"
